Vibration of a curved subsea pipeline due to internal slug flow

Subsea oil and gas pipelines undergo vibration due to "slug" flow within the internal fluid contents of the pipeline. This slug flow is generated by the differences in density of the internal fluid. It acts as a traversing force along the length of the pipeline and causes structural vibrat...
